Shooting
5.37 Sec.
It’s that time of year again — the time many hunters wait for. Shotguns come out of storage and camo makes its way out of the back of the closet. Hunting season is here for those who pursue the many species of birds found across the Carolinas, and that means it’s time to prepare for the first day afield. Preparation is an important part of the sport: it keeps you and others safe and plays a key role in whether you have a successful hunt. Start by visually checking your shotgun. This is likely the first time it’s been out of storage since last season. Look for rust or worn spots and anything obvious that may need to be adjusted, repaired, or cleaned. Test the action to make sure it works properly. Before you begin any inspection, always check the chamber to ensure a shell was not left inside.
